--------
Eva had her injured body forced up on a prehistoric oak tree. The bark tore at her shirt and forced her to let out a howl. Her muscles ached all over like the morning after a big sport event. How could she explain this to Pearl? The man she admired turned out to be a Demon in disguise and she had humiliated herself in front of the legend? In a moment of overpowerment (my Beta says it isn't a word but you can never tell with it so...) she allowed herself to skim down the plant and onto the ground. Her breath was escaping her mouth with tiredness, which was a sign she had to discontinue her pursuit home. Untainted drops of crystal crawled down her soot and dust covered cheeks in addition to her mascara.
Eva was having flashbacks of her mum shaking her awake on Mondays to go to school and her refusing.She dazed in and out of exhaustion. Obviously Sparda had healed nothing but her wounds. Maybe he wasn't a legend after all. Her mother's smeared immage gently faded.
---------
Aunt pearl scampered around the house in panic of Eva's absentness. Her father would be fuming if he knew where she was. Luckily she covered for Eva by finding an old Halloween dummy and sticking it in her bed with the covers over it. He was very gullible and not careful so he only opened the door to see if she was in bed as pearl said.
"Pearl!"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to run some errands, a foreign couple want to spend a month here...that will be a lot of money."
"Go already!"
Chance rescued them as he exited the back kitchen way, just as he left a frail knock sounded from the front of the hotel.
"I...Its' m-me, Eva."
She plummeted all she was doing to the ground to hold Eva up. She failed to comprehend why she was tearing up. After all she was such a strong individual, and a feminist.
"Eva, what's wrong? Have you been hunting?" Her voice was unusually stern and serious.
She sniffed. 'Just, leave it pearl."
"But,"
"I SAID LEAVE IT!"
"Grouchy!" Pearl muttered under a cough.
"I can't go on like this, I'm.So.tired. Just promise one more thing before I go to bed."
"Okay,"
"Don't tell father,"
"All right,"
She continued going upstairs with her mind not present while at the same time Aunt Pearl could do nothing but gawk in disturbance at how depressed Eva was.
'Looking like such an idiot isn't what I'm used to.' She forced herself to open her petite wardrobe and pull out the jacket, this time not taking care to make sure it didn't get caught on anything. Shortly after gazing at it and absorbing the sweet smelling fragrance of the jacket she commenced to collapse on her bed.
"Demons..." She garbled under her breath engrossing the atmosphere around her and releasing it.
-------
Sparda felt equally foolish. When he arrived at his manor he did not do the first thing he usually did. He went strait to his studies and sat in his chair. Not even lifting a book up to peek inside at the depth, information and entertainment he could find inside. Now Maggie was scared. First no tea, now no books! What was this girl doing to him?
"Sparda what's wrong sweet?"
"It's my fault, she was taken by surprise and she ran away,"
"You didn't tell her who you were?"
He stared at her as if Eva was standing before him before replying "No."
"Didn't anyone tell you a relationship can't be built around lies?"
"No, however isn't there an exception for my lie?" Really, what was he suppose to say!? 'I'm a demon who saved the world about 200 years ago I'm like nearly 2000 years older than you and I just like you?'
Maggie sighed and stood right in front of Sparda. He would thank her by the end of the day if it killed her!
"You know Sparda...I contemplated slapping you...however I'm not going to. But knowing that you are very charming but don't know how to deal with the female gender, I will teach you everything I know."
--------
On the following daybreak after a well deserved rest Eva awoke feeling much better than before. All her uncomfortable tenderness seemed far behind her, and her mood also hung into a better direction. She leisurely sat up extending her tense muscles and taking the morning's therapeutic effect on her in. "well, I promised I'd help in the foyer today so I should get up!"
After a cleanse she was ready to go, and practically skipped to the foyer.
'And note to self Eva, stop talking to yourself immediately!'
-----------------------
I know it's been ages but the aftermath of the confrontation had my brain clouded. And I know a pathetically short chapter but no worries! Because I have the next chapter filled with ideas and I've just about started it so I'll see ya then!
